Welcome to Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an international initiative that educates everyone about online safety and empowers individuals and organisations to protect their data from cybercrime. Amidst large-scale data breaches and cyber-attacks, Cybersecurity Awareness Month reminds us about simple, effective ways to remain safe online, protect personal data, and ultimately help secure our world.
The National Computer Incident Response Team of The Bahamas (CIRT-BS) is proud to champion and support this online safety and education initiative this October.
The theme of this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month is Secure Our World! This initiative reminds us that there are simple actions we can take every day to protect ourselves, our families, and organisations from online threats.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month focuses on the top four ways to stay safe online like using strong passwords and a password manager, using multi-factor authentication (MFA), recognising and reporting phishing, and keeping software updated.
Throughout the month, look out for several opportunities to learn through our weekly emails and social media posts, school visits, and a cybersecurity webinar to conclude the month on Thursday, 31 October. You can register for this webinar here.
Cheers,
CIRT-BS
